Code:
var run:Boolean;
var jump:Boolean;
if (run && jump){
//
}
is flash smart enough to flag the if statement as false based on the first parameter? or will it still process both booleans, even though it is known the if statement must return false based on the "run" Boolean alone. just wondering if its a waste of processing, although trivial at this level.
So I want to create a method that return a true or a false. The thing is I need to be able to change the true/false ratio in percentage as a parameter
So it'll go like this:
public function trueFalseRandomizer(percentOfTrue):Boolean
{
return(result)
}
So if (100) is passed in argument it will return a true for sure and a (0) would always return a false... (25) 1 on 4 chances to get a true... etc etc etc
Maybe I could have figured it out myself but I get confused with the math.anything As I don't feel I get good randomizer when I try to create one.
i have made a navigation banner in flash for a blog site, but the banner is giving me trouble in Internet Explorer. The Flash file has two buttons, one for "Log In" and one for "Log Out", that are supposed to be visible/invisible depending on whether or not the user is logged in to the blog or not. To achieve this, I have set up a Param tag that checks to see if the user is logged in or not, and then reports this true or false data to the Flash movie as being either "1" or "0" in the form of a variable. The Actionscript in Flash then uses this data to make one button visible, and the other not visible.This is working perfectly in Firefox, but for some reason in Internet Explorer (tested in IEv8) both buttons are visible at all times. Both Firefox and Internet Explorer are running the same version of FlashPlayer (v10).[Code]...

Just looking for some advice/leads on "best practices" for protecting a sensitive id (personally identifiable information) I've got a Java-based webapp (JSPs, Servlets, etc) that is going to need to embed a SWF file running on a trusted 3rd party site.
As part of embedding the SWF file, I'm going to need to pass a parameter in the block containing the currently logged in customer's ID. Question: knowing that I have a Java stack and not really knowing (or caring) what technology stack the SWF hoster has, what's the best way of encrypting that customerID such that someone who views source and starts trying to change the customer ID parameter can't suddenly get a SWF that's not related to them?
I would like to build an xml based scroll or purchase one already done, that I can modify the code to look for a unique xml file based on a parameter in the cookie. What would be the best way to go about doing this? Is this even possible? The filename would be unique for each individual user.

I am working on a site, that has 5 main pages: the home, and four sub-pages. Essentially, I have an element that slides up over the screen anytime you click "from" the home page to one of the remaining pages. Consequently, when returning to the home page, the element slides away / off the screen.
I am thinking the best way to handle this is with a conditional statement, but not really sure at all how that code would look especially in relation to position. My thinking for the code would be as follows:

I have a situation where I have a List showing a queue of Upload Objects:
[Code]...
I would like to create three different views of the List: One showing All uploads in the queue Another showing only the Upload items with Upload.type == "Update" and another showing only the items with Upload.type == "Create". Another example of this would be on an email inbox, where we could filter "All, unread, or read". I realise I could just create three different lists, one for each view of the list (maybe I'm just being picky) but I was wondering: Is there is any easy way to conditionally select the items to display from a DataProvider based on a parameter (for example type =="Upload") so I don't have to juggle three separate ArrayCollections about?

I have an array packed with 100 movieclips. Say, I randomly move each array element across the stage. Now I decide to stop a specific mc. What I would normally do is remove it from the array it currently is at, so the for loop cannot "see" it. When I work with only one mc, I simply set a boolean flag, e.g. ActionScript Code: var isMoving:Boolean = false;, and make it possible to move only when the flag is true. However, it fails to work right when there's more objects on the stage, because once I set the flag to false, all mc's freeze, not the one that actually was meant to. Finally, here comes my question: is it feasible to assign a flag to a specific element of an array? Each element to have its own flag?

I have a enemy. (Not programmed yet )
And MC_dude, the player.
When I move MC_dude on top of MC_flag1,2,3, or 4, I want the flag to change to a different Movieclip (An american flag that I have already made.) after 5 seconds. I would also like to know how to make it go to the next level after you cap all the flags. Also, If the enemy captures the flag, it displays a lost screen.
IS there anyway to code to get this kind of effect in flash?[URL]..
I am trying to get my button/objects to wave or move like flapping cloth
I want to avoid components if I can..
you know when a flag waves? the movement of an eel? a sperm tail?
that is what i am trying to accomplish. that movement.
other than very rough tweening i am not getting close.
this project is created in FlashDevelop. It is a waving a flag by clicking on it,but, how I can make the flag flown directly when i execute the swf?.Here's the code:
Code:
package
{
import com.innerdrivestudios.visualeffect.WrappingBitmapData;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
[code]...
I want to waving the flag without clicking on it.
Can we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
I've been trying to piece together a way to have an image with a flag wave fade in as soon as the movie loads. Once the image is faded in almost all the way, I want the waving to slow to a stop so at the end, it's a static image. I've gotten most of this accomplished, however, once the flag wave slows and stops, the entire image shifts up and to the right. I'm sure it has something to do with some displacement variable, but since I'm no coder I can't seem to figure out how to stop this.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI am trying to make an API in which there are 3 screens:
1. User drags items to a blank square(area) and makes a flag in the area with the items-i will call it "the flag" from now on
2. User dresses a puppet-i will call it "the puppet" from now on
3. User can print puppet+the flag(and he can arrange it-over/under the puppet, resize, rotate etc.)
I think all I have to do is create an MC with the flag and then move it over frames, or insert the flag (blank square+components used) to an MC in advance, and by code remove unused items and then "pop" it in the other frame (but then i need it to be the edited one, not the original). I attached the frame. The square is the area and the blue squares are the draggable items. I want to preserve that edit (post drag locations).
I'd like to mention that i'm a totally newbye with flash and actionscriptI'd like to load some external text inside a movie clip that contains a bitmap from library.It is a waving flag created via AS2 with "Waving***EffectAS2" from flash-filter.netthe code is:
Code:
// attach filter on stage
var myFilter:MovieClip = this.attachMovie("WavingFlagEffectAS2", "WavingFlagEffectAS2", 1);
[code].....
I'm working on a timeline system which you can see here:http:[url]....I am generating each flag using attachMovie to duplicate a TextFlagMC over and over, giving each one a date and blurb.If there are a lot of them on screen they often overlap.I wrote this code on the 1st frame of the TextFlagMC so that each flag will create itself into TopShelfMC, a shadowed container MC on a higher layer:
onRollOver = function(){//Pop flag ontop of all others
TopShelfFlag = _root.Timeline.TopShelf.attachMovie("TextFlagTopSh elf", "TextFlagTopShelf" + FlagNumber, + FlagX)[code]....
and to turn it off when we rollOut, I have this code on the 1st frame of the TextFlagTopShelfMC that just got loaded in the TopShelf layer:
onRollOut = function(){//Pop flag ontop of all others
unloadMovie(_root.Timeline.TopShelf["TextFlagTopShelf" + FlagNumber]);
}
it works.but often times not if you roll from one button right to another.
it is possible to create a waving flag effect from the image in Flash using ActionScript 3? How can I do that? I found a lot of topics like this, but have not found a solution
